Skin Deep

Original and similar lyrics

You're telling me that I'm your queen, that nothing matches me.
You're making me feel like a dream, the way you flatter me
Are you just another fake, or something special?
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You're telling me that I'm too cool, you say I'm beautiful
I gotta tell you I'm no fool, I'm kinda cynical
Boy have you got what it takes
Something special (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Chorus
Don't think this beauty's Skin Deep
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I need more than you're giving me
Skin Deep
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Get down to the bone
Heart and soul, I've got to have it all
It's got to be special (special)
You sit me on the top of your world, can't take your eyes of me
You say that I'm your candy girl, well that's oh so sweet
Boy have you got what it takes
Something special (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Chorus again
Mid 8
Down, down, take it to the bone
Get to the beauty within
Down, down take it to the bone
Got to discover me
Down, down take it to the bone
Open your mind and come in
Down, down, take it to the bone
Chorus again

(Down to you now)
(Down to you now)
The smell or your hair,
the touch of your skin,
it's with me everywhere,
i can't get away from it,
the sound of your voice, echos all around,
i try to sleep but you are even in my dreams,
find a film always...
-Chorus-
It all comes down to you, yeah
everythin' i do, yeah, yeah,
and everythin' i see you're always here with me,
what can i do?
it all comes down to you, yeah, yeah
I try to let go,
try to break free,
there's somethin' in you that's got such a hold of me,
how was i to know you would go so deep,
i try to think,
but you are all that comes to mind,
all the time,
allways,
-Chorus-
It all comes down to you, yeah,
everythin' i do, yeah, yeah,
and everythin' i say you're always here with me
(ooooooo)
what can i do?
(ooooooo)
It all comes down to you, yeah, yeah
(down to you)
Well i try to be so strong but you've still got me weak,
all it takes is just one touch and i can hardly speak,
i just looked into your eyes and i fell in so deep,
it's not up to me, it's not up to me (it's not up to me)
(do do do do)
(do do do do)
(do do do do)
(do do do do)
(do do do do)
(do do do do)
(do do do do)
-Chorus-
It all comes down to you, yeah
(Down to you now)
everythin' i do, yeah, yeah,
(Down to you now)
everythin' i say ya always here with me,
(oooooooooo)
what can i do?
(oooooooooo)
It all comes down to you, yeah, yeah,
(Down to you now)
It all comes down to you, woah, yeah
(Down to you now)
It all comes, it all comes down, it all comes down,
(Down to you now)
To you
(Down to you now)
Oh yeah
Yeah
Everything i do,
(Down to you now)
Everything i say,
(Down to you now)
Everywhere i go you're always here with me,
(Down to you now)
Every piece of me goes either into you,
(Down to you)
It all comes down, it all comes down, it all comes down,
To you
(Down to you now) - (Repeat to fade)

I Am
At the end of every rainbow
There's a promise proven true
No matter how you're feeling now or what you go through
There will be somebody lovin' you
Deeper than the grandest canyon
And higher than the open sky
Near enough to capture every whisper, every sigh
Strong enough to hold you when you cry
CHORUS
I Am. I was. I am the one who is to come. Yeah
Before and after, I'll still be what I am and what I was.
All that you need. All that you want.
I Am.
If you need someone to hold you
Because your world's fallin' apart
If you need a light to guide you safely through the dark
And chase away the nightmares of the heart
If you need someone to give you
A purpose for your broken past
And restore the reservoir of hope inside of you
And mercy for each morning that is new
CHORUS
I AM. And I was. I am the one who is to come. Yeah.
Before and after. I'll still be what I am and what I was.
I'll be all that you need and I'll be all that you want.
I'm telling you, I am, I'm the rose they crucified and buried
I am ,now I'm risen from the dead.
I am, I'm the life from the tribe of Judea
I am, I'm the lamb
I am. And I was. I am the one who is to come. Yeah
Before and after.
I'm still gonna still be what I am and what I was
I'm gonna be all that you need and I'll be all that you want.
I'm telling you I am. I am.
What you need, what you want, what you what you deeply deserve yeah
When you're lonely and you think that no-one really cares
Before Sarah and Moses, The father Abraham.... I AM

You came on to me a house of fire
One look was all it took for my desire
I'm still burnin'
It's the middle of the night
I need something
That can make me feel alright as I go
CHORUS:
Skin deep-to the bone
Every time I see your face
Skin deep-to the bone
Tellin' me that I'm in trouble
S.O.S
I'm in distress-tonight
Knock knock in the dark-what will I find
Your eyes-hypnotize-but can they read my mind
Watch your step now
We're gettin' closer to the edge
This is dangerous
And all the lights are flashing red as I go
CHORUS:
Skin deep-to the bone
Every time I see your face I go
Skin deep-to the bone
Tellin' me that I'm in trouble
Skin deep-to the bone
Every time I hear your voice I go
Skin deep-to the bone
Tellin' me that I'm in trouble
Too far gone
Can't hold on-tonight-not tonight
I'm still burnin'
It's the middle of the night
I need someone
Who can make me feel alright as I go
Chorus (part of both)

Fire at will, will, will, will..
Fire at will!
Yeah, I would kill!
Yeah, I would freeze the hell over just to get a chill.
Yeah, I would slay!
Yeah, I would maim!
Yeah, I would vanish in thin air and reappear again.
Be right in the squares, yeah I would be sincere.
Yeah, I would lie!
Yeah, I would lie!
Yeah, I would be there waking up the dead to get a thrill
I say yeah! I say yeah!
(chorus)
Would you love a monsterman?
Could you understand,
the Beauty of the beast?
I would do it all for you.
Would you do it all, do it all for me?
Take your time, you'll be fine.
Yeah, there is nothing wrong with this
you ain't committing crime.
You don't know why
It passed you by.
You search for something never found along these lines.
Someday you may turn around and terrify.
You can't deny
You crucify!
would you get down in the gutter swalloing your pride
I say yeah! I say yeah!
Would you love a monsterman?
Could you understand,
the Beauty of the beast?
I would do it all for you.
Would you do it all, do it all for me?
All that you get is less than you deserve.
Leaving for now, someday I may return.
(Huaaow)
Would you love a monsterman?
(chorus 2x)

Yeah
Now here we go
Here we go (come on come on)
Now here we go
Here we go (come on come on)
Yeah
Stay strong this ain't for the plain hearted
My name's honored cause my style is insane retarded
Remain hottest from St. Marks to St. Thomas
Take game farther than the Putt-Putt planes chartered
The same artist who smoke rain forest will bang hardest
My brain smartest break a nigga like a lame promise
All city like train bombers
Check out the pictures we painted (yeah)
More colorful than Kelis naked
Your skills is least debated and your album least awaited
Even Big Tiger wouldn't let you in the basement
Face it y'all niggas face down with your legs kicking
They call your momma Roy Jones cause she raise chicken
Your down for the count like Rah Digga I'm straight spitting
Make pidgins say, uh uh no they didn't
Yes we did so god bless the kid yo
I got my own so I never stress his no
Chorus (repeat 1x)
In this journey you're the journal I'm the journalist
Am I eternal or an eternalist
As soon as we showed up I sensed nervousness
As soon as we rolled up y'all burn to this
Here we go
Come on
Yeah yeah (yeahhh)
Yeah yeah (yeah yeah come on)
Yeah yeah
Come on come on
Yo we send this bullet straight towards your brain
We taking over like mores in Spain there's more to gain
Runaways get aboard the train (come on)
You can't ignore the pain (no)
When it come down like the pouring rain
Caught the train of thought and claim to cross the broad terrain
The cold weather break your spirit like a water main
I looked in your eyes and I saw the shame
Y'all don't know that a greatnest came before the chain
Till you can't imagine a future where this all could change
If one of us ain't free then we all to blame
So we attack each other fighting project wars and thang
It's all the same across the board we off again
You wanna sieve through that shit then you can call my name
Kweli I chopped it up like raw cocaine
I drop jams in top ten I'm not for the fame
You wanna test and I bet you get wrecked like lost planes
Yo
Chorus (repeat 2x)
And there it is (yeah)
Yeah yeah (yeah yeah)
Come on
Yeah yeah (yeah yeah)
Yeahh
Yeah yeah (yeah yeah)
Yo yo yo
Say whaaat Say what, say what, say what
I rock for the purest and I rock for the players
I rock for the fellas and I rock for the ladies (come on)
I rock for the elders and I rock for the babies (yeah)
I rhyme to the sirens that cry in the night (yeah)
Live on the mic even though I've been dying to write (yeah)
Since the day of flying a kite and ridding my bike (come on)
Open my eyes and keep the prize within my line of sight (yeah)
Cats dropped out of school to keep fiends high on the pipe (word)
Seem like that's the get away of trying to fight
The system thats based on trying to stop you from shinning your light
Dying in spite of getting rich
That's why I rhyme like a battle emcee
Battling the tragedies and fallacies
That be killing niggas quicker than infant mortality
They acting like whats going on now is distant reality
Behaving so casually that they become a casualty
Plus they don't wanna battle me anyway
They try to walk away but they stubble like Macy Gray
Cats hit the tunnel to rumble and say, Hey DJ!
Make me wonder why they call Sunday the lazy day
Chorus (repeat 2x)
Check me out
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
yeah yeah (fades)
